In qtcreator, under Tools/Options/Qt4, it has for both auto-detected and manual, the version of Qt I want it to use; /usr/local/Trolltech/QT-4.7.3/bin/qmake .  It bothers me that there is no place to put where the includes are for QT-4.7.3, since there is another qt version on this system.

Could you try it again with cmake:

Make somewhere a new directory and call in this directory:

     cmake <your path to kst>/cmake

And then post the generated CMakeCache.txt here.
(CMakeCache.txt lists all found components and configuration)
